The Bedaya Media Foundation, the institution responsible for the Emirati animated series «Mansour», announced that the serial site on the YouTube channel witnessed a large increase in the number of subscribers, as it exceeded one million subscribers, while the views since the launch of the site reached more than 500 million views.
"We are always looking to provide media content that is an addition to the public, and when it comes to the younger generations, the task of producing content that meets this demand becomes more difficult, which indicates our success in this task," said Maryam Eid Al-Muhairi, Chairman of the Foundation's Board of Directors. "We will continue to work to produce creative content that matches the values and principles that we want to cultivate in the hearts of our children, and that takes into account the rapid development of all walks of life," she added.
She stated that "Mansour" has achieved a wide spread since the launch of the channel on "YouTube" among Arab children in various parts of the world, especially in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Egypt, and Kuwait, and has also been popular with Arab communities residing in North America and Europe.
For his part, the Foundation's CEO, Nabil Al-Jisr, said: “In line with our new strategy for content development, after signing the cooperation and strategic management agreement with (Creative Generation), we entered the animation world by including the comedy TV series (Mansour) in our organization.”
He added, "We have continued to enhance our internal capabilities and benefit from our previous production experience. We are now in a position to produce a variety of original Arabic content from Abu Dhabi and make it available to Arab children all over the world as part of our development strategy."
The comedy TV series targets children between the ages of six and nine, and is interested in promoting a system of educational values, including the importance of family, respect for cultural diversity, creative thinking, innovation, and the positive use of technology for the good of humanity.
